Another benefit of exercise for the elderly\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We have all heard that exercise improves balance, bone density, and cardiovascular functioning in the elderly.\u00a0 Now we learn that regular exercise will boost our immune system.\u00a0 Here at the University of Arizona, Associate Professor Richard Simpson has been researching the effects of exercise on the immune system among the elderly and other at-risk populations, and even astronauts.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simpson has found that periods of moderate exercise can boost the immune system through a reduction in inflammation, healthy maintenance of the thymas (lymphoid organ of the immune system), boosting younger immune cells, and relieving stress which is damaging to our immune system. \u00a0In addition to helping boost the immune system among the elderly, moderate exercise is similarly beneficial to people living with chronic disease as well as the obese.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The research also indicates that there could be substantial benefit in the fight against cancer.\u00a0 The number of immune cells in the blood can quadruple during exercise.\u00a0 These cells could help fight cancer or viruses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The relationship to space travel is quite interesting.\u00a0 Latent viruses potentially remain in our bodies for years.\u00a0 When we are healthy, our immune system keeps these viruses in check.\u00a0 However, when astronauts go into space, their immune systems are somehow compromised.\u00a0 These latent viruses can then more easily activate.\u00a0 We\u2019ve heard about the weightlessness of space having a negative impact on muscle mass and bone density.\u00a0 Weight resistance and exercise are crucial.\u00a0 Now there\u2019s yet another angle \u2013 exercise might be of critical importance to helping maintain the immune systems of astronauts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SYNERGY HomeCare caregivers can help seniors and those in compromised health situations maintain safe and healthy exercise routines.\u00a0<\/p>\n
